Uggh.

I've been prescribed it to treat ulcerative colitis. I've been on a number of ASAs over the years, Salofalk, Pentasa. Recently was using (unsuccessfully) budesonide.

Course of treatment is as follows.

40 mg for 2 weeks,
35 for 1
30 for 1
27.5 for 2 and continue tapering for approximately another 10 weeks.

That said I'll be meeting with my GI specialist every month or so to update treatment if needed.

What doses have you people typically been on? Am I getting too carried away looking at the myriad of potential adverse effects?
